Revitalizing Commercial Corridors

To revitalize commercial corridors, the Javera Group helps business owners and community groups define priorities, identify neighborhood assets, conduct outreach with diverse stakeholders and develop workable plans to attract new investment, address problems, strengthen existing businesses and increase opportunities for people to gather and connect. We believe successful commercial corridor revitalization strategies should be built from the ground up, honoring local history and culture, while being open to change.
